Students! As some of you may already know, CUNYFirst has replaced eSIMS as the system that you will use to register for classes and access your records. To access your information in CUNYFirst, you will need to create an account. For information about how to get started, visit this instruction page. You will also find handouts with instructions for setting up and using your CUNYFirst accounts located throughout campus. If you are in the library, you can ask for some at the reference desk.
